Hi Neil;

  Apologies, in editing the reply, the first URL you provided ended up 
as part of my reply rather than part of the quote from your reply...

  Thanks for the info regarding obtaining a monolithic html (or pdf) 
gunucash manual/tutorial...

  I would like to have a printout of both that I can take with me 
(and/or give to somebody else) at a time when I don't have access to my 
computer and/or the web.

  I will try what you (and others) have suggested.

Thanks,
Ken
